This past Sabbath was the ending point for a few things but marks the beginning of evangelism, healing and the proactive pursuit to of a healthy spiritual and physical life, in March and beyond. AYS featured Pastor Davis, Ida Williams and Louis Johnson alongside saxophonist Mark Bunney which concluded the Sabbath School workshops, which began on Wednesday evening.
Each presenter was a powerhouse speaker; the congregation was hanging off of their every word. Pastor Davis, Ms. Williams and Mr. Johnson all recounted their early days living in the segregated south. Their stories parallel as they described the “Whites Only” bathrooms and separate water foundations. They gave hope for the future as they detailed for us how far African American in America has come.
Mt. Sinai is a legacy church, thriving in central Florida for over 100 years. Its congregation is predominately African American and being black in America is not a once in a year experience for the members.

ReplyDeleteHow can one forgive when our society insists on not forgetting? Heaven will have a congregation of people from all corners of the earth. When a race of people insists upon elevating itself, how does God receive glory? Pride is at the heart of this thing called black history. Woe to the prideful.
ReplyDeleteI was at the church the day the saxaphone player give his solo. That was a very powerful performance. How would I get in touch with him and where would I find his music?
